UFOs time!

We can believe that aliens exist or not, it is a very fascinating and intriguing topic anyway!

June and July are UFO months! First of all, the famous Roswell UFO incident took place in the U.S. in June or July 1947. Moreover, July 2nd is the official World UFO Day (in the past also June 24th was celebrated as the UFO Day, until the World UFO Day Organization  declared July 2nd to be the official UFO Day).

As usual, this is just an opportunity for us to have a different kind of lesson... and this time the topic will be full of mystery!

LET'S LEARN A LITTLE MORE ABOUT UFOS

UFO means Unidentified Flying Object, that is any unexplained moving object flying in the sky.

Ufo sightings have been reported since ancient times...
